Gastric Bypass
How Gastric Bypass Surgery Works
Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y, is a type of weight loss surgery that changes how your stomach and small intestine handle food. During the procedure, the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch. The small intestine is then rerouted to connect to the small stomach pouch.
The food you eat will enter into the small pouch, reducing the amount of food you can consume. You'll feel full faster and eat less food as a result. The food then enters into your small intestine which has been rerouted so food can bypass a portion. Because of this, your body absorbs fewer calories.

Gastric Bypass Vs. Gastric Sleeve Understanding Your Options
Gastric bypass surgery is a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure, making it an effective option for patients who are morbidly obese. While gastric sleeve may be a good option for patients with a BMI of 35 (or 30 with a weight-related medical condition), gastric bypass surgery may be recommended for patients with a BMI of over 45.
During your consultation, our team will discuss your options and determine which weight loss surgery will be best for your goals. With the proper bariatric surgery, you can expect healthy, consistent weight loss, fewer weight-related medical conditions like sleep apnea, and an all-around improved quality of life. It starts with a message or phone call .

Exceptional experience at this surgical hospital. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism and warmth of the staff. The surgical team was highly skilled, and they took the time to address all my concerns. The facility itself is modern, clean, and well-organized. My procedure went smoothly, and the post-op care was excellent. I feel grateful to have chosen this hospital for my surgery, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others seeking high-quality medical care.

Great service and experience. Had nothing but the best care from the doctors and nurses and would highly recommend. Nothing was too much trouble and I’m had minimal to no issues post surgery. I wish I had done this sooner, and it’s been the best experience travelling to Mexico and having Dr Cabrera as my surgeon. Trust him 100%
